Summer in Cleveland

Set Your Sails for The Land

Things to do in Cleveland this summer

This summer, all roads lead to The Land. Savor Polish Boys after lakeside lounging or paddle down the Cuyahoga past Rivergate Park. Cheer on the Guardians, chase thrills at Cedar Point, and party in The Flats. Discover world-class family fun at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and the reimagined Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Celebrate 50 years of Cuyahoga Valley National Park along the Towpath Trail.

Pack your swim gear and grab your crew (or sneak away without them)—your perfect road trip getaway starts here.

Summer Weather in The Land

What it's like and what to pack

It’s the time of year we invite all our friends to visit. We take them to Edgewater Beach for the day, and they begin to fantasize about moving here. The average summertime temperature is a perfect 80 degrees. Humidity levels creep up in late July and August. There are plenty of patios to conquer and stadium dogs to consume, not to mention miles of sunny picturesque lakefront and shady river byways to enjoy.

Ladies and gents, time to get that pedicure and let ‘em fly. There’s no real need for close-toed shoes, long pants or light jackets for a few months, though if you've got a cute pair of either, there are some cooler nights here or there that will accommodate. Shorts, short sleeves or no sleeves (sun's out, guns out) are the name of the game, as well as breezy, breathable fabrics and, of course, swimwear for lakeside lounging.

Summer so Bright, we gotta wear shades
